Oh, you guys. I thought Breaking Dawn was "good." But the first 12 chapters of Midnight Sun?
OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN THEY WIN AT THE LUL Z FOREVER.
( I guess this counts as spoilers... )

If SMeyer doesn't finish Midnight Sun, I am going to be so depressed. Shit, I want the whole series from Edward's perspective, IT IS THAT GOOD.
Barack's speech had at LEAST 38.3 million viewers:
The audience estimate of 38.3 million means that Mr. Obama’s speech reached more viewers than the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, the final “American Idol” or the Academy Awards this year.
This doesn't include PBS or CSPAN, or online/TIVO/DVR. Plus, you know, group viewings and whatnot.
Niiiiiiiice.

So I'm watching Heroes Season 1 as I eat my breakfast and eventually photo editing. But something struck me in the first bit of the episode:
Peter's dreams.
( Just dreams or more? I'm probably really late to this party. )

So BBC takes on Merlin. Hm. Will watch just for teh ASH, probs. He is disturbingly attractive in that costume. I hope he gets to sword fight.
ETA: And for more info, here's the BBC's press release.
In completely unrelated news:
Please be Romney, please be Romney, please be Romney. Not this crazy Governor of Alaska lady.

YES WE CAN.
Hot DAMN Michael Phelps. Please swim a race versus a shark (preferably JAWS) next.
I need to go to bed, but I keep refreshing http://freejennanow.com/ instead. Rainn Wilson has "kidnapped" Jenna Fischer in an attempt to have The Rocker earn something like $18mil. It's cute.

If you want live updates from the concert tonight, keep an eye on my Flickr account (flickr.com/users/byhirequeynte) and my twitter (twitter.com/betternovembers). I'm gonna try to take some photos on my phone and upload them live.
waiting for a bus now. I feel like I'm going to puke. Made the mistake of eating a lot of quiche on a hungover overexcited stomach.

I'm on episode 12 of Mad Men Season 1. It's very good, although frequently makes me feel so very awkward. Also, I'm a little in love with Harry/Rich Sommer, not gonna lie. He's by far the least obnoxious of Pete's crew, and I heart him and his glasses and him lasting the longest in the race to have an affair between the married men. Vinnie K is great, but you know, he's the character you're supposed to hate.
All I have left is Episode 13, and I already have the first episode of Season 2 waiting for me. Then I'll be all caught up!
I just made myself a huge bowl of pasta. I really need to go grocery shopping.

I find it really amusing that every intentional shot I try to make at pool... I'm lucky if that happens. When I decide to just hit stuff, I am approximately 8 million times better. I made the best unintentional shot today, in which I actually managed to HOP the 8 ball. I don't know how I did it. But it was awesome. Of course, it left the 8 ball sitting right on the pocket so I lost 3 shots later, BUT STILL.
I'm 3 episodes into Mad Men. This show is making me so very very very glad I did not live in the 50s. Although the clothes are pretty fantastic.
Today at work it was hell, coupled with bad news, combined with a lack of food and total absence of patience on my part. I am not a happy camper.

So now that all the news from Comic-con is starting to trickle out (or, I am slowly catching up to the mountain of reports)...
- I find myself completely frightened by the Heroes spoilers. I may be done with this show. I will give it a chance, but WOW, every spoiler I've read/preview I've seen has made me very very doubtful that the quality of this show is ever going to approach Season 1 levels. I may keep watching for HRG though. I still love him.
- Completely the opposite: the tiny spoilers concerning BSG are completely AWESOME.
- Dollhouse. Is it time yet? PLEASE?
- On a completely shallow note, the outfit that Katee Sackhoff wore to the BSG panel? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
- Eliza and Tahmoh seem like they are going to be great leads. Also, that photo of Joss, Tahmoh, and Eliza on the EW site (I am far too lazy to look up the link but it's on whedonesque) is AMAZING. Bromance!
- Jewel Staite has really blonde hair now? I'm not sure how I feel about that.
- Ah, no really, I just want to mention how happy all the BSG tidbits are making me. The best one? "Bamber loves, though, that Apollo is Princess Leia to Sackhoff's Han Solo (his analogy), always in need of rescue." Heeeeee.
